COMBINATION-GARMENT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 784,918, dated March14, 1905.` Application filed October 28, 1904. Serial No. 230,350.

To all whom, t may concern:

Be it known that I` MEYER BUNsrCK, a citi zen of the United States,residing at Phoenix, in the county of Maricopa and Territory of Arizona,have invented new and useful Improvements in Combination Garments, ofwhich the following is a specification.

My invention relates to combination or union garments; and one of theprincipal objects of the same is to provide a strong, durable, cleanly,and comfortable negligee suit or single integral garment for malechildren.

Another object is to provide a garment of this character which can beeasily and quickly put on or taken off by a young child and which willpermit the greatest freedom of use of his limbs without binding rrestricting the child or straining the parts of the garment.

These and other objects are attained by means of the constructionillustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a frontview of a garment made in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a rearview of the same, partially unbuttoned. Fig. 3 is a detail View of thefront fly.

Referring to the drawings for a more particular description of myinvention, the numeral 1 designates the waist portion of the garment,and 2 denotes the trousers portion of the same. The front portion of thegarment is made in two sections or halves 3 4, united by a centralvertical seam 5, which extends from the neckband or collar 6 to thecrotch 7. These two front sections or halves 3 4 are each of a singleintegral piece of goods extending from the collar 6 to the bottom of thetrousers 8. The back or rear portion of the garment is made up of twowaist-sections 9 10 and two trousers-sections 11 12. The waist-sections9 are extended at their lower ends to form flaps 13 14, which areunattached at their side edges, as at 15 16, slightly below thebelt-line. A belt 17 is stitched at its top and bottom at the waist-lineand extends entirely around the garment and serving as a reinforcementor stay for the rear waist-buttons 18, which are attached to said beltin the rear, there being no front buttons to the garment. The reartrousers-sections 11 12 extend upward to the top of the belt 17, and atthe upper edge of said sections 11 12 button pockets 19 are formed by anextra inner strip 20, provided with buttonholes 21 and connected to thesections 11 12 by the seam 22 and providing pockets by means of theseams 23. From the belt 17 to the collar 6 at the back a row of buttons24 and buttonholes 25 are utilized to close the garment in the back.

Just above the crotch 7 a fly or opening 26 is provided, and at the rearof said opening a double tab or fly-cover 27 is connected by a line ofstitches at one of its edges, the opposite edge 28 being free andextending some distance beyond the opening 26. Sleeves 29, cuffs 30, andbuttons 31 complete the garment.

From the foregoing it will be noted that the garment is of comparativelyfew pieces, with double seams at points of greatest strain, is a light,cool, and cleanly garment, is supported entirely from the shoulders, hasno buttons in front, can be quickly and easily managed by a young child,is calculated to give the greatest freedom of movement to the wearer,and is free from unsightly openings to expose the child in any positionwhich he may assume at play.

Having thus described my invention, what I desire to secure by LettersPatent and claim 1s- A combination-garment consisting of waist andtrousers comprising two sections connected by a vertical seam extendingfrom the neckband of the waist to the crotch of the trousers, and eachof said sections consisting of a trousers-leg and one-half of the waist,a belt or reinforce-band surrounding' the waist-line and sewed to thetwo sections, buttons connected to said belt in the rear, a fiap on thewaist at the rear extending below the waist-line, and unattached at theside edges, button-pockets at the upper edge of the trousers-sections inthe rear, buttonholes formed in the inner member of the waistband, and afront apope'ning covered bya double tab, substantially as described.
